Chapter 9.5, Problem 116E

Preliminary data analyses indicate that you can reasonably use a t-test to conduct each of the hypothesis tests required in Exercises 9.113–9.118.

9.116 Apparel and Services. According to the document Consumer Expenditures, a publication of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average consumer unit spent $1736 on apparel and services in 2012, That same year 25 consumer units in the Northeast had the following annual expenditures, in dollars, on apparel and services.

At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the 2012 mean annual expenditure on apparel and services for consumer units in the Northeast differed from the national mean of $1736? (Note: The sample mean and sample standard deviation of the data are $1922.76 and $350.90, respectively.)

In Exercises, use either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach to perform the required hypothesis test. Buckling Up. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration collects data on seat-belt use and publishes results in the document Occupant Restraint Use. Of 1000 drivers 16–24 years old, 79% said that they buckle up, whereas 924 of 1100 drivers 25–69 years old said that they did. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to concludethat there is a difference in seat-belt use between the two age groups?

According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Alaska had 321 complaints of identity theft out of 1,432 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enough evidence to show that Alaska had a lower proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level. viii) Comparing p-value and α value, which is the correct decision to make for this hypothesis test? A. Reject H B. Fail to reject Ho C. Accept Ho D. Accept HA Enter letter corresponding to correct answer. (ix) Select the statement that most correctly interprets the result of this test: A. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. Evidence supports the claim that the proportion of complaints due to identity theft in Alaska is less than 23%. B. The result is statistically significant at .05 level of significance. There is not…

The College Board provided comparisons of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores based on the highest level of education attained by the test taker’s parents. A research hypothesis was that students whose parents had attained a higher level of education would on average score higher on the SAT. The data from a sample of the two populations are presented in the DATAfile SATMath. a) At a 95% level of confidence, test the hypothesis that students show a higher population mean math score on the SAT if their parents attained a higher level of education.
